Olivine Pools Trailhead

Bit of a drive to get there but it's worth it. Free parking and wasn't busy at all when we went, especially compared to the blow holes nearby. Fairly easy hike down to the pools. Pools are great to swim in, jump off the rocks into, or to just look at the tropical fish within them. Some of the pools are quite deep and very safe.

Scarier than I expected but awesome. We read about this in Maui Revealed and it looked super cool. We loved the drive out and beyond. The drive wouldn't have been fun at all after dark. We went on a Friday afternoon and oncoming traffic was sparse. We are from Colorado and so the notion of sharing a single lane wasn't so terrifying to us. High tide was at 4 PM yesterday when we went and we got down to the pools at probably 3:35 PM. The splashing was a bit scary. The weather was fine, but we didn't stay long in the pools. I'm very glad I went though and would love to come again when it's not high tide and the weather is equally fine. We each brought water shoes in a backpack and we're glad we climbed down in regular shoes. Sneakers or hiking boots would've been better. It took us cautious old people more than half an hour to get down intact, probably less than 15 minutes to climb back up again. I would absolutely do it again. But be very afraid of rogue waves.

Awesome. Beautiful coastal views. The tidal pools were beautiful. This trail is very rocky with several areas of difficulty.

Beautiful area to watch from a distance. Experience hikers required. Dangerous rocks and steep in grades off sea cliff.

Super cool spot but very difficult drive out to Thai area. Definitely do not go late in the day. The area has beautiful tide pools but be careful because the waves can come in at any point and sweep you away. There’s tons of gorgeous views and marine life. Be sure to be respectful of the land and water.

One of my favorite spots on Maui. Hiking shoes are a good idea for the hike down and back, as are water shoes for the pools, but this spot is truly beautiful. Try to go at low tide and stay aware for rogue waves, but also make sure to relax and enjoy. More than anything, recommend coming north from Lahaina area rather than from the west; for the latter you’ll be on the side of a cliff the whole time. Also, Maui Magic in the parking lot is awesome. Love that guy and his snacks are phenomenal.

Beautiful cliff veiws. There is a trail until you get to the lava rocks. The rocks are jagged so shoes are recommended. The last third of the hike down is rock hopping. There is a safety flotation device on site but no life gaurd. Swim at your own risk. Be aware of the tides and your surroundings.

Beautiful hike and tide pools. It's an amazing once in a lifetime experience. I've never been to a more beautiful place. Definitely read all of the warnings in other comments before going. - don't go if there's a storm that day - rocks get very slippery when wet - where the correct shoes both in and out of the water bring 2 pairs - research tide times and make sure to go during low tide. - if the waves are big don't go to the pools. You can get pulled into the ocean. - if you're a tourist rent a car to get there and back. There is almost no signal here and nearest town is 30 minutes. - Listen to mother nature. - many people have died here. - do NOT bring kids or pets
